So Vanilla Socks On 9" Circs

This is the third pattern of four in my So Vanilla Socks collection. In this recipe, I’m going to teach you how to knit socks on 9-inch circulars, both cuff down and toe-up.

Whether you love them or hate them, everyone has an opinion on this newer sock knitting technique that’s gained a lot of popularity in the past few years. I originally didn’t enjoy them, but I made myself give them a real try about three years ago and actually found how much quicker I could finish a pair of socks without the fussing that comes with magic loop or my clumsiness with losing DPNs. I enjoyed the straightforwardness of it so much that 90% of my sock knitting changed over to 9-inch circulars.
